First day

We got up at six o'clock because we had to be at a quarter past eight at Barcelona's airport.

When we arrived we met our mates and our teachers (Consol, Maite and Eusebio). Then we said goodbye to  our parents, sisters and brothers and we joined a queue to ship our luggage. We had to wait for an hour to get on the plane, which took off at half past ten.

We were really nervous and the flight seemed to be very long because we wanted to arrive quickly at  London.

We arrived at London at half past twelve. Our host family was waiting for us in front of a beautiful park, so everyone got into their host family's car and went to their house, where we settled down  and had something for lunch. Then, at five o'clock, we had to go to our nearest underground station. Some people went to Northfields, some people to Southealing.... But then all of us had to go to Acton Town, where we met all our friends.

At the time all of us  were in Acton Town, we went into the underground and after some stations we arrived at Westfield. Westfield is a popular shopping centre in London. It seemed to us a bit expensive but it was very big and it had shops that we knew and we have here in Barcelona like Bershka and Hollister. We did some shopping and we returned to the underground station.

The teachers gave us the underground tickets for the next day and we went to our houses to have dinner with our families and we talked with them to know more about them: their work, their children's schools and interesting places in London. The majority of the families were nice and kind so we could learn a lot about them. 

We knew that we were going to spend great days next to them in London!
